About the teacher training centre
IH Izmir is right in the centre of the metropolitan city of Izmir, on the Azure blue waters of the Aegean Sea - just a four minute walk to the waterfront. Izmir is one of the oldest inhabited cities in the whole mediterranean basin - with a wealth of history to explore.
Once the ancient city of Smyrna, Izmir is now a modern commercial center, set around a huge bay and surrounded by mountains. The broad steets, glass-fronted buildings and modern shopping centers are dotted with traditional red-tiled roofs, colourfully painted houses, an 18th century market, and old mosques and churches. When visiting, you will definitely get a feeling of Mediterranean Europe set within modern Turkey.
The school IH Izmir specialises in teacher training - so you will be in great hands taking your CELTA here. More than 200 people take a CELTA with IH Izmir every year. The school has more than ten years experience of training and supporting its students.
